You Passed Survival / Healing Beyond Just Making It Through

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054478/fan_mail/new] How long have you been surviving instead of living? In this week’s solo episode, Jenelle speaks honestly about survival mode, trauma, emotional exhaustion, hyper independence, and the difficult reality of trying to heal while still carrying the weight of everything you’ve been through. A lot of people look functional on the outside while silently struggling on the inside. You go to work, show up for people, keep moving, keep smiling, but deep down you know you’ve been operating from pain for far too long. This conversation is about what happens when God starts calling you beyond survival mode. Beyond fear. Beyond the identity you built around pain. Because survival may have protected you once, but it was never meant to become your permanent identity. You are not just what happened to you. You are becoming. 🎙 Subscribe to the Life’s Deceit Podcast and turn on notifications so you never miss a conversation that invites truth, healing, and intentional change. ✨ Connect with Me (Jen Simpson) Website: jenellesimpson.com TikTok: @lifesdeceitpodcast Instagram: @lifesdeceit Jen’s Instagram: @lifes_deceit Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054478/support] Join Jen Simpson on a journey of personal growth and empowerment.

My Disobedience Is No Longer Cute To God.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054478/fan_mail/new] There comes a point in your life… where doing what you want is no longer an option. Where God stops whispering… and starts shifting everything around you. In this raw and unfiltered solo episode, Jenelle Simpson shares what it means to step into a season of true obedience, even when it hurts. This is not just about faith. This is about: – Letting go of people you love – Grieving relationships that no longer align – Releasing control – Trusting God when nothing feels comfortable – And understanding why elevation requires separation Because obedience doesn’t feel good at first. It feels like: Loss. Discomfort. Loneliness. Uncertainty. But on the other side of obedience… is alignment, clarity, and purpose. If you’re in a season where things are shifting, relationships are changing, and you feel like God is forcing you to move differently… This episode is for you. 💬 Reflect with me: Where are you being disobedient? What are you holding onto that God told you to release?  Mirror to the Mic Magazine Launch – April 17 A platform for truth, healing, and legacy. 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔔 Subscribe | 📤 Share #LifesDeceit [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lifesdeceit] #LegacyByChoice [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/legacybychoice] #Obedience [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/obedience] #FaithJourney [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/faithjourney] #LetGoAndGrow [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/letgoandgrow] #SpiritualGrowth [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spiritualgrowth] #HealingJourney [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/healingjourney] #Podcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast] #JenelleSimpson [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/jenellesimpson] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054478/support] Join Jen Simpson on a journey of personal growth and empowerment.
